Dark Don Racing’s Tijil Rao capped a brilliant run to his season as he sealed the drivers’ championship in the LGB Formula 4 category in the 27th edition of the JK Tyre FMSCI National Racing Championship here on Sunday.On a sunny day at the Kari Motor Speedway, the 22-year Tijil was all smiles as he had opened a massive lead even before the last round was held on the outskirts of Coimbatore.

Even though seasoned racer Saran Vikram surprised one and all by winning the first and second races, Tijil did not mind it. He had realised there was no point in attempting anything too hard as he was assured of the overall trophy.
